Dear JCI members in JCI Damas-
cus LOM
Allow me to start our first local
newsletter for this year by thank-
ing you for giving me your trustand the honor to lead our chapter
for one year. A year that I wish it
would be full with success and
accomplishments whether on per-
sonal, professional, social, or vol-
untarism level. It seems that this
year we will exceed our expecta-
tions one more time based on the
enthusiasm that all of you have
showed in attending the meetings
of the four areas so far. On the
other hand, 23 members have
attended the first training we haveorganized this year to train our
project chair people under this
year slogan JCI Damascus
Where Leadership Happens.
Therefore, I would like through
my monthly message to address
one idea related to leadership. It
could be a skill, a characteristic or
a feature.
This month I would like to ad-
dress the issue of the importanceof training for leaders. Leaders
are not born, but cultivated.
Hence, they need greater training
and coaching to deal with the
added responsibilities they face
climbing the life ladder. We all
know that leadership is all about
interaction. And training assists
you in that by enhancing your
abilities to interact with people in
order to understand them and to
be understood by others. Indeed,
training is an opportunity to takeadvantage of as it will make you
more confident, more mature, and
more influential. Those traits are
the traits that help people achieve
greatness.
Therefore, I encourage all of you
this year to attend any training
opportunity in JCI whether lo-
cally, nationally, or internation-
ally. In addition, I emphasize the
importance of the involvement of
our JCI Trainers in conducting
trainings and workshops for their
fellow members to interact their
knowledge, skills, and experi-
ences.

Nowadays who doesn't dream
about the perfect smile, the smilethat takes the breath away , and
capture everybody's heart ?
As dentists we can't help but noticethe increasing numbers of females
and even males who are visiting
clinics and dental care centers ask-
ing for whitening their teeth andadjusting their smile.
At the same time as dentists we
shouldn't be forgetting about the
huge amount of people with spe-cial needs suffering oral conditions
that they can barely live with, thespecial people like mentally and
physically challenged people have
poor oral hygiene.
The main reasons for this are :Low intelligent quotient (IQ) or
mental retardation.
Lack or loss of dexterity to cleanthe oral cavity in physically
challenged .Malnutrition due to poor dietary
habits.Lack of desire to keep clean due to
chronic depression, and many
other reasons and diseases whichlead to following oro-dental
problems:
As Dental caries.
Bleeding gums due to poor oralhygiene.
Enlargement of gums due to Anti-epileptic drugs.
Ulcers of the mouth due to malnu-trition.
Foul smell from the mouth due to
infection of the gums or teeth.Poor oral health causes further de-
pression as the person is shunned
by the care givers due to foul
smell, loss of teeth can cause lossof self esteem as well.
Giving care to special people is a
challenge in itself and requires lotsof patience and compassion by the
caregiver at home or at the institu-
tion.
Give full attention to the mainte-nance of oral hygiene, balanced
diet regular dental intervention and
regular medical check ups to ward
off major psychiatric, medical andoral health problems. The drugs
that cause excessive drynessshould be substituted by the treat-
ing doctor.
Oral health maintenance tools:These people lack the motivation
to keep clean.
If the person is depressed then it isvery difficult to make him open his
mouth to clean it. In these cases thecaregiver needs to motivate him
with patience and love.The persons who are of low IQ or
who lack manual dexterity to han-
dle a tooth brush should be assistedby the care giver.
The caregiver should stand behind
the patient. The tooth brush should
preferably be motorized as thesepersons won't allow brushing by
hand for long.The brushing should be done for 2
minutes with care as not to injurethe oral mucosa. After brushing the
person should be made to rinse
with water but they tend to swal-low the water, which should be
gently discouraged.
The brush should be changed, one
it shows sign of fraying of bristlesas the errant bristles can injure the
gums.
And suitable dietary changesshould be done to suit the life style
of the patients.
Finally the mentally and physicallychallenged people are a valuable
part of our family and society, and
need full care and love from us.
The effort put in to maintain theiroral hygiene is going to save them
from diseases, and the caregiverfrom repeated visits to the dentist
and doctor hence saving the money
too. A well maintained oral hy-
giene also means a well nourished,clean and easy to manage person in
care.
